In case of Power Failures / Surges.....we should first check if the h/w of the
printer has gone defective...
Try the following in the specified order...
1. Unplug the power cable at the back of the printer and replug it and then
press the "ON" button on the printer to check if it works else...
2. Unplug the power cable from the surge protector (if you are using one) and
replug it and then press "ON" button else just try unplugging from the wall jack
and replug the cable (if you are not using a surge).
3. Else , Try a different wall jack
4. You may even try taking the printer to a different room and then check if you
get some power.
Now if the printer powers up but the "startup cycle" continues...it needs a
"semi full reset"
to do that->
5. unplug the power at the back of the printer and
6. press # and "6" at the same time on the front panel
7. while holding these two buttons , replug the power at the back and keep
holding till you see "semi full reset" on the screen
8. Now release the buttons and let the reset complete...you may be prompted to
enter the language again etc....
Even if this doesnot work...try a "full reset"
9. Which is done by pressing "#" and "9" simultaneously with the same procedure
Else the firmware(program inside the printer) has gone bad and may need
replacement
A good option is to upgrade it by calling the tech support....they do hav an
option to exchange your printer with a better model and you will benefit by
about 40% over the price of the new printer

Go to an office supply store and pickup printer cleaning sheets. They are sticky on both sides. You run a sheet through it a couple of times to remove paper dust from the rollers. The pickup roller is so slick it is drawing in more that one sheet of paper. Cleaning the rollers and the paper path will solve your problem.
